Huge boar brushes, Rodeo brand?

[ferroburak]

Today, after noticing the biggest-ever type of a boar brush in my barber whose knot width at the top is around 10 cm I got very curious. I think getting a shave through it will give me a good inspection. Having seen it I googled out of curiosity and found these brushes in a Turkish store:

It seems Jaguar 1071 is a big one also.

I also checked a local shop after visiting my barber and I have seen huge brushes (knot width around 7 cm)

Maybe I should invest in one of them and write a review about it. I feel B.A.D. is pushing me

These Jaguars are boar. I have 4 different types of those myself. Good brushes, btw.

Do you have pictures? Which model numbers should I be looking for?

From your pictures I have the 1056, 1071 and 236. My fourth is not here, but that is a 236 with the same handle as the 1056 and 1071. If you like big the 1056 and 1071 (very big) will do just fine. The 236 is a medium sized brush, very good for face lathering.

I found that they are made in Turkey. They classify 236 as 'small sized brush'

Huh, is YTL assumed when you see TL now? I was in Turkey in 2007, and was aware then that there was a recent change in currency, but we never saw anything that wasn't listed in YTL. Have they just dropped the Y since it's not so "Yeni" anymore?

I think so.

I know, but it has a loft of about 2 inches, so that's normal/medium for most.

The one I could not find on your first list is the 783, I have that one too.
